Right, which is why I was very clear with my answer that it was a situation where there was an obvious danger present.
There's a difference between danger to your property (someone smashing your window) and a physical danger to you - clear actions, intention to hurt you, a threatening movement with deadly weapon, etc. That would be closely evaluated in front of a court.
Most of western systems try balancing the magnitudes of action and reaction.

And there's also a difference between smashing a window and smashing a window that you are directly behind.

If I'm in the car and someone smashes my window
Look, we're not in a court room, but lets just say, don't do stupid shit just because you think you can get away with it. Whether its legal or not, people will act how they feel they MUST act to live.
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6

Yep. And if you wait too long, people surrounding your car can lift it up and immobilize you depending on how big your car is.

I'd like to see that on video. I'm sure a bunch of people could pick up a vehicle, but not easily and not quickly.
Also if you are in the USA you should carry a firearm that way if you are in a situation like that you can still use your firearm to keep yourself safe.
